My Project

As an elementary art teacher of 510 students grades K-5th we go through an enormous amount of art supplies in one year. We use a variety of materials every day to create and design our artwork, unfortunately we have depleted our inventory of some of our basic materials like glue sticks, oil pastels, and especially watercolors. In addition, some of our supplies are outdated, have dried out over time, or have been disappearing.

I am looking to replenish some of our basic art supplies in each of our

elementary buildings. We use glue sticks almost on a daily basis along with our scissors that have become dull and disappearing. We use watercolors, oil pastels, and markers on numerous different projects in a variety of ways that have resulted in these supplies getting dried up, used up, or no longer viable to use. Replenishing these art supplies will make it easier for my art students to create and design their artwork in the up coming school year.Thank you for your consideration and time.
